++Ireland may become the first nation to adopt same-sex marriage in a national vote.
++We're only five days out and then polling is lopsided. IPSOS/MRBI for the Irish Times has it at 58% will vote Yes, 25% No and 17% are undecided.
++The latest controversy is that American evangelical Christians are funding the No campaign, which is against the law. Irish Law prohibits foreign funds to bankroll lobbying efforts for any policy. The American organization NOM,according to the Guardian, is bankrolling the No campaign.
++Tomorrow, the Catholic Bishops are to read from the pulpit a letter condemning marriage equality.
++But noted Irish writer Colm Toibin says there is hardly any opposition to the measure.
++This will be truly historic given Ireland's strong tradition of Catholicism.
